I love this little deep thinking mermaid. She has studied everything and still can't figure it out. "Why Am I?" is up on Ebay now.

















I have been working very hard making these little jewels. I am going to start adding items to my Etsy shop this week.





























I have prints to add too and yes I was very nervous that Tamale was going to try to lay on them while I was taking this shot. I assure you she did not. She is learning to be more professional.








It was not all work and no play this week. We did make a trip to Meramec Caverns, the infamous Jesse James hideout. It was strange packing the jackets when it is 97 out, but it is quite cool deep in the Earth. Though we look less than thrilled in these shots , it was very beautiful. I had a slight panic deep in the cave, but I was able to assure myself that I could get out if I wanted to. Claustrophobic.
Well, off to go reopen the ol' Etsy. Have a great week everyone.

Whoa 97! We've been wearing jackets here in Oregon even when we're not in a cave. The highs have been in the middle sixties lately.

I wonder if Jesse James really did hide out in that cave. You ought to visit Northfield, MN, sometime. The James Gang robbed a bank there. One of the outlaw's skeletons is now in the bank along with another outlaw's finger.

You guys sure look cute together.

I really like the round pendant with the mermaid! Those caves are so neat and I totally get how you feel when you are deep in the cave. My parents took us, actually just my Mom because Dad "had" to wait in the gift shop, to that cave when I was younger and I remember how I too started feeling like I have to get out of there. The last cave I have been in is the Brial Cave in the Ozarks. I love the ladder in the water and how old they estimate it to be!

That little mermaid is so beautiful...I love her little glasses and her pile of books...I know exactly how she feels.

The cave pix are so neat...my hubby is a geologist. He loves that sort of thing. I do too...to an extent, but I also have the 'moment of panic' thing too.

Hi,

Those caves look awesome.
I went to ones when I was in elementary school, then never again; maybe one day...
Wish you good luck with your Etsy store.

Best regards,

José

I just recieved my mermaid print yesterday-I love her. I immediately framed her and set her in a special place on my bathtub. Thank you- she is the sweetest! I'll have to take a picture and post on my blog.
